This is how had the ACC is

[Sean Miller Fan]

SI article on the ACC and Pac 12. Lucky for the ACC, the Pac 12 is even worse, losing the Pac 12/SWAC Challenge 4-2. The Pac 12 has lost 16 games to teams outside the P6, American, and Gonzaga). The ACC has lost 11. The Big Ten has lost one and that was to San Diego State.

ACC, Pac-12 basketball’s bad starts not helping case for respect - Sports Illustrated

Bad losses have peppered the two leagues so far, which could cost them in March.

Every year I say this might be the worst the ACC has ever been and I won't change from that this year because the league certainly looks worse than ever. And that's one reason I am predicting 8-12. Pitt will win some games by default.

But Duke and North Carolina will most likely be in the elite 8 and possibly final 4 so what's that say

Big TWO

Virginia is also looking very strong. Cuse is decent and may be better (as they usually are) later in season. Notre Dame is pretty good also.

The ACC is Duke, UNC, UVa and the A10. Or maybe the Gonzaga WCC is a better comparison.

Wow. It’s just so diluted right now.

ACC hoops mirrors big 10 football. Duke and UNC are Michigan and the OSU. Virginia is comparable to the Pedophiles. After the top heavy teams, the rest are average to below average leftovers.

Good comparison.

I think it can be argued that a key component in this discussion should be the fact that mid-majors are getting stronger due to the new transfer rules. Very good players who use to sit on the end of the benches of P5(6) teams can now transfer and play immediately. While it is also true that players who are exceeding their recruiting rankings are transferring up, I have a suspicion that the flow of talent is benefiting mid-majors more than it is P5(6) teams. The end result, IMO, is that we're going to see more P5(6) losses to mid-majors going forward. Regardless of conference.

Good comparison.

Except UVa has won a lot more than PSU
